They just signed 3 big hopes in the last few months. Cain Velasquez, Shane Carwin and Brock Lesnar.

650,000 and just shy of 2.5 million bucks at the gate.

Damn it. That's huge. Yeah, if his second fight can draw anywhere near that he's gonna be around for a long time. (Provided he can make it out of the first round.)

Shane Carwin has a load of potential for UFC

Shane has some huge power, but he admittedly has a poor ground game

Rampage just been arrested.
http://www.dailypilot.com/articles/2...suit071608.txt Driver hits at least three cars during chase that begins on 55 freeway and ends with arrest on Balboa Peninsula. By Joseph Serna Updated: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 3:24 PM PDT There are No comments posted. View Comments Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, former light heavyweight champion of the Ultimate Fighter Championships, was arrested on suspicion of felony evading, hit-and-run and reckless driving Tuesday after he allegedly led police on a pursuit from Costa Mesa to Newport Beach, police said. Jackson, the driver of a lifted, gray pick-up truck left crashed cars, shredded tires and sparks in his wake this afternoon when he led police on a short pursuit from the southbound 55 freeway exit onto Newport Boulevard where he hit at least three cars, police said. The driver hit two cars at 19th Street and Newport Boulevard, then drove away at about 1:13 p.m., Lt. Paul Dondero said. A Costa Mesa police officer saw the driver southbound approaching 17th Street and tried to pull him over, police said. There, he hit at least one more car before continuing to run, now heading south toward the Balboa Peninsula, Dondero said. Some time after that, the truck blew a tire but continued to drive on its rims, Dondero said. Jackson eventually gave up, pulled over and was arrested, police said. The whole chase lasted about five minutes, Dondero said. |

Not sure the differences with the laws there, but I dont think he'll get jail time for this. Even though its friggin crazy. Interested to hear what his explanation is for all this.

He'll prolly get hit and run and obstruction or misdemeanor evading..
Fines, community service, and probation at the most.. |

Bit random, but does anyone know the name of the song that was used in Rampage Jacksons hype video from the Final conflict 2003 ppv (for his fight with Chuck)?

The most astonishing thing there is that Phil Baroni finally broke that losing streak. I thought he was gonna retire after that last fight I saw him in.

Those Rampage pictures are amazing. I'd love anyone who tries to evade the police in a 2.5tonne truck with their face all over it.
Not to mention, the only reason it stopped where it did, was because his tyre, from the company who sponsor him, and also have their name on the truck blew out. Good story! I have been out of the loop for the last 3/4 weeks with not being home and such so I need a few questions answering if possible... 1, When did Setanta get all the exclusive rights to UFC here? and what is Bravo left with? 2, Is there anywhere I can watch Rampage/Forrest streamed? I will have to download it when I get home from Malta on Saturday if not, but I have a really free afternoon ahead of me, and it would be nice to watch it. 3, Is there any way I can watch the Affliction show Live in England? That is some fucking card... Last edited by Fabien Barthez; 07-17-2008 at 08:06 AM. |

Setanta has always shown the UK events live, but the last event was the first one to be shown live from the USA, I am not sure what Bravo has now but I have Setanta so it's all good.

They've officially started doing all the shows since UFC 86, but they've been doing the UK shows. Bravo still has occasional UFC unleashed shows and what have you, and Bravo are gonna show the Affliction show on Sunday night.

I nearly repped you for telling me that in your first post..
Then I decided against it with the following. Fuck Setanta. I can usually download the PPV's and be watching them Sunday night, as I'm used to with Bravo anyway. I watched Rampage Griffin yesterday. I had rampage win 1, 3 and maybe 5. round 2 was 10-8 for sure. So draw In my eyes. The judges scoring was bullshit though. Although, if you were to judge the fight overall, Forrest won for sure. |
